They are from 70-90 cm. Very nice looking plants, but something is very wrong and buds are not developing at all. There is no way they are only so late.
I use AN Sensi Grow, Bloom and Procal calmag. I water two of them with sitted tap water and two with destiled/RO. Two with RO water are doing much better I can say by now, but not very good. Just better than other pair.
Since this is really bellow my usual results, I am surprised. AN should work well as we can see around, Plagron LM works as well as airpots. Maybe adding up to 0,7 ml /l calmag for which there was in fact no need was too much. And maybe 2 ml /l dose was too high. Since I water without overrun mostly, something might have accumulate badly in soil? But I flushed them with 40 l tap water, all sitted at around day 40.
It is really incredible how poor bud growth is, because plants look quite healthy and do not show any signs of defficiencies. Except one, which is dark green, all are nice healthy green maybe a little bit too much on darker site. Before with Hesi my plants looked disastrous some time, all brown and exhausted, but 100-145 g dry per plant was always in my pocket.
I am almost sure that problem is chemical and lays in soil. Anything else that I use and the way I use was quite succesfull for some time with 120 dry per plant average. Environment is optimal, 50% RH, temps from 24-26C, going down to 22C when lights off, enough air and each one uses one HS1.
Has anyone experienced anything similar with Advanced Nutrients? Could 2 ml + 2 ml of sensi bloom A&B with 0,7 ml calmag which has also 1% N make some serious toxicity in the long run. Too much Ca, Mg, N or something else what had seriously locked other stuff out? But plants do not show any deficiency at all. They have discharged few bottom leaves each so far, but very few and bottom leaves now look totally healthy and full of food. The whole plants look fool of food but buds really do not develop. I do not see 100g on any of them, some far bellow.
Any idea what could cause my troubles? Since airpots, Plagron LM, AN sensi grow& bloom, DP Think Different and GN lights are very popular and succesfull, I hope there will be someone with some ideas. Please do not think in a way that these plants will get weight next month, because they will not. Development is too slow, I can tell for sure. Something chemical, but what? And if not that, what else?
One more thing I have forgotten to mention, they drink 1,5 l daily, except dark green one which is around 0,8l. They drink but do not bring anything. Very strange.

How are ya, mate? ..... You have the TaNg stamp of approval-- about as good as it gets! The water concerns, I'm not so sure about, given AN's buffering capacity,... unless it's brutally hard, and at 7.4, it likely isn't,.. got a ppm/EC reading anyway? If anything, I'd think using pure RO would be more problematic, unless AN nute's are recommended to be used with RO, which tells me they'll have the extra buffering minerals included in them to compensate for what missing in the RO,... otherwise, the performance difference could be chalked up to several other possibilities,... Ask good brother TaNg :thumbs:... maybe an little extra P-K spanking will turn the on again!! :BottomBeater: "Dancing Psiren"
How about a little sweetness from some molasses . Just a thought . :tiphat:
